Feedback as an Individual Resource: Personal Strategies of Creating Information
Article Abstract:
A model of individual feedback seeking behaviors (FSB) is highlighted, wherein people are fixed to pursue feedback while handling organizational environments involved in valued goals. Various motivations for FSB, where feedback is of value to individuals, are included in the model. The model outlines the two principal tenets to FSB, monitoring and inquiry. Cost and benefit analysis and individual rates of FSB and subsequent strategy selection are featured. FSB is found to be a meaningful aspect of the feedback procedure. The uncertainty reduction function of feedback and ego defensive motivation, as well as issues such as information environment strength in monitoring, conditions for the pursuit of feedback, pursuit strategy and reward quality, and individual trans-source movement are considered.

Escalation of Commitment in Individual and Group Decision Making
Article Abstract:
Commitment in group and individual decisions in relation to the plausibility of dissonance processes in relation to the escalation of committment is explored. Role- playing, in which personal responsibility for an initial commitment on the part of individuals and groups is important, was used as a major part of the study. The dissonance process varied with the manipulation of personal responsibility. There was an individual variation in dissonance responses shown by a substantial portion of variance in allocation behavior beyond experimental manipulations.
